Sydney came to a standstill on Monday for one of the most famous stars, Tom Cruise. The Hollywood actor walked the black carpet for the premiere of his mega-budget film, “The Mummy.”

Tom Cruise is set to bring his horror movie to Australia, alongside Russell Crowe. While walking the black carpet, Tom and Russell stopped for photographers and signed autographs for fans outside the State Theater. He is proud to be a part of such a fantastic film, and will actively participate in international promotions.

Tom Cruise to promote ‘The Mummy.'

Tom Cruise said in a statement to Daily Mail that he loves monster movies and always wanted to play the lead in such a film.

Fortunately, the director of “The Mummy” contacted him and offered a role. After reading the script and knowing about the cast members, Cruise accepted the film offer in no time.

Now the actor wants Americans and Australians to watch the movie, which is why he is in Sydney for international promotions. The film is scarier, darker, and full of visual effects.

Tom Cruise plays a brave warrior, Nick Morton, who fights against a female monster and her team of demons. The audiences will deal with a classic theme of darkness and light – everything is presented in an enormously entertaining way.
